Practically, man should sleep UNI
til he is refreshed. The mistake many
persons make is in attempting to gov
ern what must be n matter of instinct
by volitional control. When we are
weary we ought to sleep, and when we
wake we should get up. There are no
more vicious habits than adopting meas
ures to "keep awake" or employing
artifices, or, still worse, resorting to
drugs and other devices to induce or
prolong sleepy. Y. Witness.

When it is found that fight ha;
taken place and that the comb and wat
tie of any bird has been injured, the
first think is to cut off all the torn and
jagged parts, those which will not b,
likely to join together, and then cleanse
with cold water. Fortunately there i:
not very profuse bleeding from either
the comb or the waffle. Unless scab.
form it is seldom necessary to do more
than bathe the injured parts twice {
day with cold water. Should scabs ap
pear, these may be anointed with the
zinc ointment, in order to soften them
